Episode Title: Evil Eye (from prompt).
Episode Number: S20E13 (from prompt).
Plot: A world-renowned actress shadows the NCIS team. The team is investigating a decapitation case.
Series Context: NCIS follows the Major Case Response Team as they investigate criminal cases connected to the US Navy and Marines Corps personnel and their families. The series is categorized under crime, drama, and action and adventure.
The synopsis is extremely short: "In preparation for a role, a world-renowned actress shadows the NCIS team as they investigate a decapitation case."
The prompt asks for a 280-380 word recap.
Problem: There are almost no facts to reach 280 words without violating the "Never invent or guess" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it" rules.
If I write only what is in the synopsis, I will have about 30 words.
If I expand using the series sources, I can talk about the show's premise, but I cannot invent details about this specific episode (like which actress it is, which agents are involved in the decapitation case, etc.).
Drafting attempt 1 (Mental):
The NCIS episode titled Evil Eye
